NEWPORT -

A company says it intends to locate a new laboratory in northern Kentucky.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear announced today that Ethos Laboratories will locate a pain management laboratory in Newport, with plans to create 45 jobs in the life sciences sector and invest more than $2.6 million in the project.

Ethos Laboratories acquired a 30,000-square-foot facility at 30 East Sixth St. The building was formerly owned by Trauth Dairy.

“Ethos Laboratories is bringing highly skilled lab technicians and managers to Northern Kentucky,” said Beshear in a news release. “We’re proud to welcome Ethos Laboratories and employees to Northern Kentucky, and thank them for their investment in Newport and the Commonwealth.”

Ethos Laboratories is a provider of laboratory services nationwide, specializing in the pain management market and also offering blood/serum and urinalysis testing as well as general chemistry testing. The company also has significant research and development efforts with diagnostic testing options for pain patients.

“Our toxicology expertise is utilized by medical providers across the country,” said Tim Adams, Ethos Laboratories CFO, in the release. “We will enhance our services for our customers with a new state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Newport.”

“Ethos Laboratories’ investment and redevelopment of an existing facility is ideal for Newport’s urban core,” said Rep. Dennis Keene, of Wilder, in the release. “This company will bring great energy to the center of Newport in concert with the vitality of Newport on the Levee and several other economic development projects underway.”

“Ethos is the type of high-tech life sciences company we are focused on bringing to our region,” said Steve Pendery, Northern Kentucky Tri-ED Executive Board member and Campbell County Judge-Executive, in the release. “We welcome the life sciences focus and testing-oriented jobs and advancement Ethos Laboratories is bringing to Campbell County.”
